The person that posted these on eBay for $1500 isnt that smart anyway.

actually it's pics like this that will remind people of why he can't make music like that anymore

he needs to call up those pre Glam Slam 90's people, the people he hung out with lived with and ran around town with and hit that bassment and make some real music

WOW he had a BIG .....

Well I guess this also answers the question if he has his guitars customized to fit his "size". Cause that fender strat looks HUGE on him compared to the ones he uses now.

The Stratocasters Prince uses now are standard size. I think that pic makes the Strat look bigger because his pants are pulled up to his chin and he has the guitar way up high like the Beatles used to wear them.

I think his fro might be bigger in that basketball team shot.

Look at Prince's afro....huge. That's how large most black guys used to grow their hair out, back in the day, because the females loved guys with big afros back then. The bigger the 'fro, the bigger their swag was.

Wow.. Its just seems like the guitar is bigger. Of course maybe it is. Im not too familiar with the older strats. Could they have been made larger back then?

Ebay is a waste of space ...go to these's sources and get some real money ..

Oh it's even better than that.

That's a '70s Strat, when 4 a short time, they had larger headstocks.

I had a friend who had a natural (Ash) version of that Strat.

No, why would anyone want to see P bald. He has a hugh head and it is going to be a bad look for him. Keep the perm and the weave/hairtranplant.

SHUT UP !!!!!

Mmmm. That red shirt looks lovely on Prince.




Thanks for posting, Squirrelgrease.

So here's a pic with Prince on keys, Andre on bass and the same trap set. The MN Historical Society says that it's Morris on drums and date the photo to 1977 (were they not Champagne by 1977?). If you blow up the image you can see the electrical tape "G" for "Grand" on the left tom (drummer's right), plus the drummer is a lefty as in the eBay photos. It's known that MNHS has many factual/date errors on their website and if Morris was left handed, it must be him in the eBay shots.

Could this shot be from the gig they were practicing for?

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! That's my best Gomer Pyle imitation.

i wonder what the set list was like...

BlackAdder7 said:

Judging by the sweet outfit on that chick and the "Oh, yeah" look on my man's face, I have to think "Theme From Love, American Style" was part of the set.

squirrelgrease said:

Wow great find! Love this archival stuff.

Dreamshaman32 Says

I respect your point but i respectfully disagree, all of those people pictured and the ones you mentioned are in the same place in life he is or have completely given up music altogether. Im sure as far as the craft prince, andre,wendy and people like that are all on another level and i would love to hear them jam but urgency is for the young (not young at heart) and the innovation period is over for this group. Hell, a lot of innovation is the product of being poor, and none of these guys are poor anymore. alot of Prince's former urgency and creative mastery was coming from a kid who wanted his spot, his time, to make his mark. It's the silk sheet theory that we use in boxing which is as stated: It is hard for a fighter to wake up at 5 am and run at the crack of dawn, to have that hunger needed to fight when he's sleeping on silk sheets. Prince is a brand, an institution, the guy that was in the red with WB after controversy, that scribbled in that purple notebook on the 1999 tour was a beast of a different sort and no amount of rolling through the old hood or calling up old bandmates can re create that magic.That picture is magic, the start of something revolutionary-the Minneapolis Sound, we should cherish it and not punish prince for not being able to replicate it.

That 'fro is massive

I think Morris is a lefty.
